A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

My household primarily runs Arch and Artix for our desktop OS and never have any issues with it, however we have had no end of issues with our home server* and it often ends up being related to systemd.

I am ideally looking for something that can just be left and updated less frequently that can also run docker containers, ideally using OpenRC but can also occasionally run a package on the host system. I'd prefer something GNU as well.

Please don't reply with any "systemd works fine for me" or "what is your problem with systemd" like most that a search turns up.

Edit*: Probably should have mentioned that its been on CentOS, Ubuntu and then OpenSuse Leap

Honestly your probably shouldn't be writing your own init scripts. That is bad practice and there are better ways of doing things.

Also just to reiterate systemd is so much faster to boot and manage. Everything is sandboxed properly and dependency management is handled for your. You literally can install a package and then start the service. (Although containers are the better option)

And it has a CVE about each month. Which is more than other init have in their lifetime.
